During a 1944 struggle in the Reformed Churches in The Netherlands, a group of churches that refused to obey the synod was expelled. They called themselves the Reformed Churches (Liberated). Immigrants from that church formed the Canadian Reformed Churches in 1950. They are found mainly in Ontario and the Western provinces, with four congr in the United States. Their closely knit communities usually support their own Christian day schools, and they run a teachers\' college. They report their main challenges as secularism, materialism, and feminism.
